Abstract: The Consumer Product Safety Commission needs the reports of qualification testing to assure that lighters subject to the safety standard comply with the child resistance levels established in the standard. The ongoing production and quality control records required by the standard are used to ensure that production lighters continue to be made to the same manufacturing specifications as the lighters that passed the child-panel qualifications test and are used by the manufacturer or importer to issue its batch by batch certificate of compliance pursuant to sction 14(a) of the CPSA.
